A Merry Christmas.

The revolving wheels Of time have
brought again TO US the season OF
low. To-morrow's sun will light up
a world given up almost entirely to
pleasure, and 50 long as he remains
above the horizon he will look on
little else than gayety, frolic and iun.
Tonight Santa Clauswill make his
yearly visit aud the little ones will
find their stockings stuffed full to
o~yetAowing by his lavish hand. Oh
blessed days of childhood Happy,
innocent days! when We placed ex-
plicit confidence in the mystical
powers of that wonderful Old man,
who comes from Fairy land, drawing
with his reindeer team his sled over
flowing with all the wealth a child's
fertile fancy car suggest. Alas
how soon do the better realities OF
life drive far from us all our childish
poetry and romance. But little then
remains to Us save a fond recollec,
ton Of the past and a lively enjoy
ment Of the pleasures afforded by
the occasion to the little ones 10y
whom VIC are surrounded. Tonight
no doubt all our friends will be
made happy by the distribution OF
the presents with which the tree at
Feray Hall is to be loaded. Fol
what young man is there but has q
sweetheart, and what young lady car
appreciate a beau who does not re
member her on such an occasion a:
this. No doubt the young ladies viii
feel the premptings of their heart;
drive them to make a like display 0
Kind feelings; Tor God bless you
young ladies, we know you I'll have
lovers, and without a doubt thes'
lovers will be kindly remembered b,
you; and right here, if we may b
allowed the suggestion, should Their
be any fair one so unfortunate az II
have II O one on whom to bestow he
presents, let such an one remembe
, that ye editor is not yet disposed OF
A merry Christmas, then, we wis
to all our readers, old, middle age
and young, and may you all live I
, behold many happy returns Of thes
glad days.

general complaint on the part OF the

earGing the arrival Of mails. For

which is but five hours ut from
New Orleans, we get the ,da'lles
twelve hours after they are mailed
Could not our New Orleans con
